W^Gell, I was in this band goin' no^Cwhere fast We s^Gent out demos but ever^Dybody passed So o^Gne day we finally t^Cook the plunge Moved o^Gut to Seattle to p^Dlay some gr^Gunge Washington state that is.^C.. Space needle^G, Eddie Vedder ^D ^G

Mudhoney

Now to f^Git in fast we w^Cear flannel shirts We t^Gurn our amps up un^Dtil it hurts We've got b^Gad attitudes and what's m^Core When we pl^Gay we stare straight dow^Dn at the floor Wo^Gweee! Pretty sc^Cary How pen^Gsive How tot^Dally alter^Gnative

Now to f^Git in on the Seat^Ctle scene You've got to ^Gdo something they ain't ne^Dver seen So thi^Gnkin' up a gim^Cmick one day We dec^Gided to be the only ba^Dnd that wouldn't play a n^Gote Under any cir^Ccumstances ^D

Silence... Music's original alternative

Root's gr^Gunge

Well we spr^Gead the word through the und^Cerground That ^Gwe were the hottest new th^Ding in town T^Ghe record guy came out to s^Cee us one day And j^Gust like always ^Dwe didn't play It knocked him o^Gut

^CHe said he loved our work ^DHe said he loved our work, but he wasn't sure if he could Sell a record with nothing on i^Gt ^C ^DI said tell 'em we're from Seattle He advanced us two and half million dol^Glars

H^Gey, hey, ^Cmy, my R^Gock n' roll will ne^Dver die H^Gang your hair down ^Cin your eyes You'll m^Gake a mil^Dlion dol^Glars style='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>

Well they m^Gade us do a video but t^Chat wasn't tough 'Cause we j^Gust filmed ourselves smas^Dhing stuff It's k^Gind of weird 'cause th^Cere was no music But M^GTV said they'd lo^Dve to use it The k^Gids went wild, the k^Cids went nuts Ro^Glling Stone gave us a five star review Said we pl^Dayed with guts

We're sco^Gring chicks, tak^Cing drugs Th^Gen we got asked to play M^DTV Unplugged You should have seen it ^G

We went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of

the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place ^G ^C ^D ^G Then we smashed our s**t ^G ^C ^D ^G

Well we b^Glew 'em away at the Gra^Cmmys show By ref^Gusing to play and refu^Dsing to go And then j^Gust when we thought fame would l^Cast forever Al^Gong come this band that wasn't e^Dven together

Now that's alternative Now that's alternative to alternative G C G D G C GDG I feel stupid...and contagious

Well our ba^Gnd got dropped and t^Chat ain't funny 'Cause we're a^Gll hooked on drugs but we're ou^Dtta money So the ot^Gher day I called ^Cup the band I said b^Goys I've taken a^Dll I can Sh^Gave off your goatees, p^Cack the van W^De're going back to Athens... ^G
